About Us

We are the soul of a newspaper. Not just any newspaper. We are the soul of the Toronto Sun from back in the day when it was the tabloid everyone in Toronto talked about. We are the people who helped make it happen. Sadly, most of us are long gone from the Sun. Many are now deceased. But when we were all a part of the Sun, as it was, it was a vibrant, kick ass paper that captured the impossible dream.

Numerous prolific journalists have worked the keyboards at the Toronto Sun since its launch in 1971, including former and current staffers who can now include "published author" on their resumes.

We thought it would interesting to compile a who-authored-what list since the Sun was launched on Nov. 1, 1971. Authors are listed in alphabetical order, followed by book title, date of release, publisher, number of pages, fiction (F) or non-fiction (NF)

Fortune, LenFrom See to See: 50 Years of Photojournalism, 1999, Canadian Newspaper Association, 120 pages (NF); Design consultant for Page 1: 50 years of Canadian Journalism, by Kathy English and Nick Russell, 1999, Canadian Newspaper Association, 370 pages (NF)

Haines, MaxWhen the Toronto Sun's veteran Crime Flashback columnist Max Haines retired last year, he had 27 books to his credit. We are attempting to compile a complete list. Meanwhile, this is Mike Strobel's farewell to Max. And Max has a new book in stores and online: Spitting Champion of the World, 2007, Viking Canada, 272 pages (NF)

Margolis, EricWar At The Top Of The World: The Clash For Mastery Of Asia, 1999, Key Porter, 250 pages (NF); War at the Top of the World: The Struggle for Afghanistan and Asia, 2007, Key Porter, 320 pages (NF); American Raj: Liberation or Domination, 2008, Key Porter, 400 pages (NF)
